Harvey Elliott has revealed his goal and emotional celebration was dedicated to his late nan, who passed away earlier this week. A fine display made even more admirable by his off-the-field circumstances.
Just 19 years old, too.

Elliott continues to show great maturity with the way he conducts himself at Liverpool, which will be one of the reasons why he is so highly thought of by Jurgen Klopp.
He’s not been without his tough moments at Liverpool, with those at the club hugely impressed by the way he handled the serious ankle injury he picked up last season.
Now, Elliott is showing the world what he’s truly capable of and doing everyone, including his late nan, more than proud.
May Harvey’s nan rest in peace.
